Senior Project Manager

About the Role 

ABM is seeking a highly disciplined, execution-driven Senior Project Manager to lead enterprise technology initiatives in a hybrid delivery environment. 

Our governance model operates in a structured, waterfall framework. Our development teams often execute using Agile methodologies. This role requires a project leader who can confidently manage both — driving enterprise-level planning, financial discipline, and executive transparency while partnering effectively with Agile delivery teams. 

The ideal candidate is structured, detail-oriented, proactive, and deeply accountable for outcomes. Strong performers in either waterfall or Agile environments who demonstrate learning agility and disciplined execution will be considered. 

What You Will Own 

End-to-End Project Accountability 

• Own delivery of complex IT initiatives from initiation through closure 

• Develop detailed, executable project plans with clear milestones, dependencies, financial tracking, and risk mitigation strategies 

• Ensure alignment between business objectives, technical execution, and enterprise governance standards 

 

Hybrid Delivery Leadership 

• Operate within waterfall governance while coordinating closely with Agile development teams 

• Translate sprint-level execution into accurate enterprise-level forecasts and reporting 

• Ensure Agile delivery progress aligns with overall project timelines and funding commitments 

• Proactively manage cross-team dependencies across business, infrastructure, security, data, and development workstreams 

 

Risk, Discipline & Transparency 

• Maintain rigorous and current RAID logs, financial tracking, and status reporting 

• Surface risks early with clear mitigation paths and decision requirements 

• Drive structured change control when scope, timelines, or budgets shift 

• Eliminate surprises through proactive communication and disciplined oversight 

 

AI & Emerging Technology Initiatives 

• Lead or support initiatives involving AI, automation, analytics, and data platforms 

• Demonstrate curiosity and initiative in understanding AI-driven delivery considerations (data readiness, model iteration, evolving requirements) 

• Adapt planning approaches to support initiatives where experimentation and structured governance must coexist 

 

What Success Looks Like 

• Projects delivered with predictability and minimal executive escalations 

• Clear, accurate reporting trusted by leadership 

• Early identification and mitigation of delivery risks 

• Strong alignment between Agile sprint progress and enterprise milestones 

• Stakeholders who feel informed, supported, and confident in execution 

Experience & Capabilities 

• 6–10 years leading enterprise IT projects in complex environments 

• Experience delivering projects using waterfall, Agile, or hybrid approaches; exposure to both strongly preferred 

• Demonstrated ability to manage hybrid environments where governance is structured and development is iterative 

• Strong expertise in schedule management, financial tracking, and dependency management 

• Exceptional organizational discipline and attention to detail 

• Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority 

• Strong written and executive-level communication skills 

• Experience supporting AI, automation, analytics, or data-driven initiatives preferred 

• Demonstrated learning agility and interest in emerging technologies 

Candidates with deep strength in either waterfall or Agile delivery who demonstrate strong execution discipline and readiness to operate in a hybrid model will be considered. 

 

Certifications (Preferred) 

• PMP preferred but not required 

• Agile certifications (e.g., Scrum Master, SAFe, PMI-ACP) a plus 

 

Who Will Thrive in This Role 

• Structured, proactive problem-solvers 

• Project managers who take personal ownership of outcomes 

• Leaders who surface issues early rather than manage optics
